Insert the routed end of the 4-in. x 4-in.
wood post insert into the mount, and
check for level and plumb. If necessary,
place a shim under the mount to make
the post plumb and true. If the wood
post insert is loose within the mounting
bracket, secure the wood post insert
with three #8 x 1-in. flat-head screws (not
included) on three sides of the mount
through the pre-punched holes.

Determine the desired location(s) and
finished height of the post sleeve from the
deck surface. Trim the post sleeve to the
required length.
Trim the non-routed end of the 4-in. x 4-in.
wood post insert if required. The wood
post insert is typically 1-in. to 2-in. shorter
than the post sleeve length.
Slide the post sleeve (not included with
mount) over the 4 in. x 4 in. wood post
insert until it contacts the base of the
mount.
Note: If using post skirts, make sure to
slide post skirt over the post sleeve before
installing the bottom rail.

Using a 1/4-in. masonry drill bit, drill the
holes into the concrete base to a depth of
at least 1/2-in. deeper than the length of
the 1/4-in. x 3-in. Wedge-Bolt Anchors.
Ensure the holes are clean of dust and
debris prior to inserting bolts.
Align the mount holes over the drilled
holes.
Use the base of the mount as a template
and mark the four corner holes for the
concrete fastener Wedge-Bolt Anchors
(included in kit).
Fasten mount to concrete as required
by applicable building codes. Insert the
four concrete Wedge-Bolt Anchors into
the corner holes of the mount. Begin
tightening the anchor bolts by rotating
clockwise and applying pressure
downward towards the mount base. This
will engage the first few threads as the
anchor bolt begins to advance. Continue
tightening until the head of the anchor
bolt is firmly seated against the post
mount base.
Repeat for the remaining fasteners
ensuring the base stays plumb and true.
